I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

The background sure sets off the foreground. This looks great...masking off the flowers. I am still wrestling with grunge...my results are spotty...but maybe they are supposed to be. LOL

Oh you lucky devils! I thought you were kidding... anyway, have fun! Your second attempt is excellent Carin, you made the flowers jump up from the presentation. Pop in when you can.

Oooohh! How fun ... a secret gettaway! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! I like the grunge effect you got, leaving the flower alone. You make me think I should go back and give this another try ... I'm still thinking about it! LOL! Stywe druk en baie liefde ... ek is mal oor jou!! :D

Carin, this is perfect. You really mastered the grunge process. You've mage the background look like frosted glass that has started to crack. Dana

Wonderful flower capture, such a vivid red, and perfectly lit! I especially like that you left the flower ungrunged. Great work, Carin!

The flowers are quite beautiful, but I'm not sure about this, 'Grunge' thing! To me, Grunge is a band called Nirvana and the like! Lol. That said, the colours are shown off really well on the background. So it must work in its own way? (Talking arty now!Lol Like I know something....) Rob.
